Who the Hell is Richard Hanania? We’re joined by @letsgomathias.bsky.social and @henryburke.bsky.social to retrace the career arc of a very strange “race realist” poster who’s convinced the rich and powerful that’s he’s some sort of “intellectual.” www.patreon.com/PostingThrou...

Motherfucker, you eat roadkill and snort heroin off of shit covered toilets

Richard Hanania's primary idea as a thinker is to flatter whoever holds power. Right now, that’s liberals--given the profound backlash against MAGA. Letting him in means admitting liberalism has room for someone who talks like an unreconstructed fascist.

Had such a blast talking about Richard Hanania - fascist dweeb turned centrist darling - with the great @jaredlholt.bsky.social, @michaelehayden.bsky.social & @henryburke.bsky.social for the latest Posting Through It www.patreon.com/PostingThrou...

I'm losing my mind over here, having inadvertently made headlines on tech blogs for having opened a fortune cookie that had a polymarket ad inside of it

We were happy to have Henry on for our latest episode. (He was kind enough to share some of his research notes on Hanania with us while we were prepping the episode!) Give him a follow and check out his work at therevolvingdoorproject.org

NEW: US lawmakers say the Trump administration is breaking the law by withholding a secret court opinion about the surveillance of Americans, even as it presses Congress to renew America’s most sweeping surveillance program.

Last summer, Scientific American's owners were stalking the site, making sure it wasn't being too critical of Trump. This summer, the magazine was sold and gutted. I wrote about it for The Nation www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Next up on Posting Through It, we’re back with another installment in our acclaimed “Who the Hell?” longform biographical series. Our next subject: Richard Hanania. Feat guests @letsgomathias.bsky.social and @henryburke.bsky.social Out Monday!

Lunch break jamming

Posting Through It + Chris Mathias live at NYU on Wednesday afternoon 10/28. And it's free. A lot of sign ups already, come and join us!

Posting Through It went on I Hate Bill Maher to talk about chip flavors and something called “Muslim Week.” We recorded it last month only thing I remember about this appearance is that I was laughing a lot.

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.

That's the name of Andy's game -- hype up the threat of left-wing extremism and run cover to obscure right-wing extremism.

New premium ep out today for our Patreon subscribers looking at the protest movements spreading in France and other parts of the world and why MAGA influencers are so freaked out by them. We also reveal the subject of our next “Who the Hell?” episode, coming Monday. www.patreon.com/PostingThrou...

New I Hate Bill Maher w/ @michaelehayden.bsky.social and @jaredlholt.bsky.social We talked about Real Time s23e35 aka last season's finale, an episode that sent my guests on a journey from confusion to outright disgust. Will be thinking about "Muslim week" for a while. pod.link/1746469734/e...

The riots in France give us a window into how MAGA will respond if/when it happens here. They’re building a Voltron enemy based on Antifa, non-white immigrants and Muslims and using AI to hold the narrative together. New PTI creamium: www.patreon.com/PostingThrou...

Mike and I joined @oldmanweldon.bsky.social on the latest episode of “I Hate Bill Maher.” We talked through an episode of “Real Time” and got roasted by the teacher for not doing our homework (honestly, fair!) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

Notable pivot from one of the biggest political spenders in recent years. Endorsements and $$$ support from AIPAC have started to hurt the candidates it supports, so the org is pivoting to other strategies. (Really great reporting and context in this piece for my fellow "money in politics" nerds.)

Next week! Based on RSVPs so far, it looks like we're going to have a packed room. Don't wait to lock in your spot

Donald Trump has shared links to Just the News, the right-wing agitprop site helmed by WH staffer John Solomon, in at least 367 Truth Social posts or reposts since he returned to the WH last January — more than any other news outlet over that time period. www.mediamatters.org/john-solomon...

The head of TPUK, the British offshoot of TPUSA, was caught on undercover video talking about hiring a hitman to carry out violence against opponents. That hitman met with undercover reporters to show them guns and talk about ways of hurting people. Insane story. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10...

Leading election denialist figures have called on Trump to declare a "national emergency" during midterms and take control over voting. But while key figures have been pushing the idea directly the White House, the idea has failed to catch on in Trump's online base. openmeasures.io/trump-nation...

Vivek Ramaswamy has not only confirmed the commercial with Amy Acton's estranged mother was made by his campaign, Axios also reports he's now spending $4 million to air it.

Greg Bovino was the face of the Trump Admin’s ICE crackdown in major cities like LA, Chicago, and Minneapolis. Since retiring, Bovino has leaned hard into naked white nationalism, Last weekend, @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social filmed him speaking alongside white supremacist Jake Lang. A video:
